Thai chicken sausage with Red Nahm Jim

We made some Thai chicken sausage on Wednesday with chicken thigh, salt, pepper, Thai basil, mint cilantro, garlic, ginger, and lime zest and dehydrated sriracha dust from fermented sriracha mash. We were able to taste a patty before we cased them up and were pretty excited about the possibilities. We cooked these sous vide at 167 for an hour then charred them up on the BGE. 

We served this with Red Nahm Jim (fish sauce, Thai chilis, palm sugar, lime juice) over rice. 

These were delicious and the Nahm Jim May be my favorite condiment on the planet right now.

    We did make up the sausage from scratch. The nahm
    jim is ours too but based on other recipes we have tried and one of our favorite restaurants. It took a few years to get dialed in but it’s now as good as any we have had. We use the fancy barrel aged fish sauce and that makes a huge difference. I'll post the recipe once I have it all written down.

    Winner winner chicken sausage dinner! Those look and sound awesome. I've had Thai sausage on my mind for a while too. 

    What grind settings did you use for these?  Never had great chicken sausage, but that's probably because I never had really great chicken sausage.

    It was the small die on Jones Lem #12 grinder. Not sure what that is. We used 100% thigh with no added fat and it bound up great. We also used Non-Fat Dry Mil on recommendation of @lkapigian it ended up being more hot dog like in texture rather than bratwurst like. Not sure if that's from the chicken, or the binder but they were awesome.  Reminded me a lot of the Thai Green Curry Chicken Sausage at Loro (except our Nahm Jim is better).

    it was really good. I'll write it all down when I have time to get it all in once place. That was a fun way to use all the sausage gear and we made it all up on the fly. That was pretty fun too.

    The #12 small die that comes with the grinder is 4.5 MM, I got the 6 mm for small grind stuff, the 4.5 is a big jump from the 10 for an not to course not to fine

    Just FYI- the Thai recipe calls for cilantro root or stems if you don’t have root. We used store bought so it didn’t have roots. If you have a garden with cilantro, throw some root in there.

    Thanks for posting.  Going from Three Crabs to Red Boat was a big improvement for me, must resist the barrel aged fish sauce  :)

    btw, not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere, what quantity of chicken is the recipe for?

    The sausage recipe is separate from the Nahm JIm. This sauce is awesome in everything.

    yep- serranos are very similar to the Thai Birdseye chilis that are normally used in this recipe. Any hot chili will work.
